BeBook Neo comes in a wonderful sleek cream colour panel. It has a wide six-inch screen and a small circular navigation control. At the lower side of the eBook we have a USB port, SD card slot and the headset jack. The volume control keys are found at the sides. The touch screen technology used is very sensitive and nearly all the actions could be controlled by a few slight taps.
The battery is amazing. Li-ION battery 1600mAh is used. If the battery is charged once for 3 hours it will last until the user had read over 7000 pages. Power consumption is very less in this device. Yet the clarity is not compromised. The unique feature is that the battery stays hundred percent active until the last page. Even when the battery power is low pages do not have a faded glow.
